I agree, some of the dealers have no clue. I recall going to speak with a couple of larger dealers at the then large KC show in the mid 80's when I was looking for T207s and was dissed. I then went to a table with a pleasant fellow who pulled out a box of 207s all in ex or better condition and I bought over a thousand dollars worth of cards at a fantastic price, one of the best buys I have ever made, hard to find Red Cycles and Broadleafs at well below "book" because I bought so many and all around exmt. I had my young daughter with me, at the time she was about 9, and we both had on baseball hats and shorts since we were headed to the baseball game later that day. One of the dealers was Rosen and the other was the infamous Hagler. Neither could spare me a minute of their precious time and I was buying and polite. By the way, my daughter's picture appeared on the front page of the Kansas City Star handing a ball for a signature to Joe DiMaggio. Absolutely fantastic and she has both the picture and signed ball at her home and a ton of memories.
